Latest WikiLeaks release shows how the CIA uses computer code to hide the origin

This is interesting . . . considering the activity about Russian 'hacking' of the election (that the FBI said did not switch any votes).

Latest WikiLeaks release shows how the CIA uses computer code to hide the origins of its hacking attacks and 'disguise them as Russian or Chinese activity'

• WikiLeaks published 676 source code files today which it claimed are from CIA
• It says the CIA disguised its own hacking attacks to make it appear those responsible were Russian, Chinese, Iranian or North Korean

WikiLeaks has published hundreds more files today which it claims show the CIA went to great lengths to disguise its own hacking attacks and point the finger at Russia, China, North Korea and Iran.

The 676 files released today are part of WikiLeaks' Vault 7 tranche of files and they claim to give an insight into the CIA's Marble software, which can forensically disguise viruses, trojans and hacking attacks.

WikiLeaks says the source code suggests Marble has test examples in Chinese, Russian, Korean, Arabic and Farsi (the Iranian language).

It says: 'This would permit a forensic attribution double game, for example by pretending that the spoken language of the malware creator was not American English, but Chinese.'

This could lead forensic investigators into wrongly concluding that CIA hacks were carried out by the Kremlin, the Chinese government, Iran, North Korea or Arabic-speaking terror groups such as ISIS.

WikiLeaks, whose founder Julian Assange remains holed up in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London, said Vault 7 was the most comprehensive release of US spying files ever made public.

This is . . . 'interesting.'  What this seems to indicate is that the 'Russian' hacks of whatever during the election were actually false flags perpetuated by the politicized CIA.

It should be glaringly obvious that if, as so often touted in the MSM, there are 'Markers' of Chinese, British, Israeli, Russian, or Eastern European meddling, then (1) the intelligence agencies of those powers, and many freelancers, know that too, (2) it will be possible to mimic them and either hopelessly confuse the trail or pin it on someone else entirely, and (3) there are probably markers of US meddling of which we are blissfully unaware.  Of course nobody in the MSM is enough of an actual thinker to bring this up until something like Wikileaks actually rubs their noses in it and spanks them.
